Well it's many a fine lady has walked along beside me

With their flesh made of velvet and their eyes made of rain

And some turned away, not to look back again

One stood among them, I remember most clearly

And I came her majestic reflections to know
verse 3
G7 F C
oh her words, like a mountain, stood lonely and lofty

Worn by a mourner, as he steals away softly
Em F G7 C
From those that would have him mourn nothing at all
verse 4
G7 F C
Oh, endlessly sorrow rode high on the north wind

Slashing and slicing to take him his toll

And endlessly creatures of darkness were cutting

Their paths through the walls that shelter the soul
Bridge

Ah but no longer gypsy-like sadness unending
Em F G7
Well her eyes - they lay hollow and her face petrified
C G7 F C
Well some will go laughing and others condemning

Oh but who there among you could have told her goodbye?
